[Heat Wave]

Name: Heat Wave
Occupation: Super Criminal
First Appearance: Hot Dog, Canine Defender of the Innocent issue #3

Bio:
Heat Wave was once a small time hood. Petty crime was his stock in trade and he knew the inside of a jail cell more than once. He is most interested in stealing shiny baubles, particularly gold jewellery.

Hiding from the law one time, this diminutive penguin uncovered some ancient ruins. Hidden among bits of broken pottery he found a mystical flaming hockey stick.

Taking the hockey stick imbued Heat Wave with super strength and speed. Heat Wave travelled to the city of Gray Lassie to begin a new crime spree. True to his roots, he continued with minor robberies until he was finally captured by Hot Dog while trying to rob 24 Carrot Jewellers.

Behind-the-scenes:
Heat Wave as a penguin was done as an homage to some little comic characters that creator Richard Hoover's sister had done when the two were younger. The penguin design proved somewhat challenging as Heat Wave is only about half the height of Hot Dog. This made getting the two characters to look like they were interacting somewhat difficult.
